This is the biggest thing in auditioning as far as I’m concerned. It’s sometimes hard to fathom just how many people the casting folk have to see on a daily basis.

Like every week we post a book review on a subject related to acting, health, personal growth or anything related to the showbiz industry. This time its dedicated to all those women (although men have been known to act up like this too) that wish you something –other-than-the-best. It’s “Trippin the Prom Queen” by Susan Shapiro Barash.
